I use various techniques, ranging from psychodynamic, attachment, CBT, to solution-focused.
My goal is to offer individuals a safe, non-judgmental space where they can speak freely about everything from daily challenges to the more nuanced, life-long issues. Therapy looks different for everyone, and I aim to provide a unique, personalized approach for each client. I acknowledge the importance of a trusting therapeutic relationship, and how meaningful it can be, over time, to truly connect with a therapist. Recognizing people are the experts of their own stories, I lead with compassion and understanding, with the intention of promoting self-agency and self-empowerment.

Do you find yourself struggling with depression, anxiety, or constantly feeling “stuck”? Are you tired of feeling sad, lonely, and not having people who truly understand your struggles? Did you grow up in a community that stigmatized mental health and discouraged seeking support outside of your home or religion? Are you worried that someone might judge or consider you “weak” if you ask for help? Let me reassure you that there is absolutely nothing wrong with you, and you are not weak. There is no shame in seeking support. There is no shame in wanting a better life for yourself. There is certainly no shame in seeking happiness.

I believe we each have a core part of ourselves that is wise, confident, and desiring of secure connection with others. Single event or repeated traumatic experiences can distance us from this core part and we can find ourselves using coping mechanisms, such as excessive substance use and other self-harming behaviors, that no longer serve us or our relationships. Identifying the needs we are desperately trying to meet and exploring alternate ways to meet them can disrupt the cycle that keeps us feeling defeated and lead us towards more fulfilling relationships with ourselves and those we care about.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists

How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?

Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.

When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?

It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.

How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?

To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.

Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?

CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
